Never more often have I felt the need to "cover my ass" in the way of pre-emptive evidence than I do in college. I wouldnt be surprised if the guy in charge of selling canvas UI to DSC and other colleges was the same guy who said "hey guys, you're gonna love VISTA!".
So now I timestamp and exifstamp every document and file before sending it to my teacher to prove that I did the paper despite what Canvas may imply by "failed to upload" or "404/502 timeout".
So three-four days ago I submit this video on canvas thinking "oh there it is", followed by "I should really screencap this" in the back of my head. The past 5 times or so that I've done this its appeared to annoy the professor or be a waste of time so I conclude "THERES NO GODDAMN WAY THIS WOULD SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR, ITS THERE AND I CAN SEE IT" case-closed.
Three days later its time to discuss the videos, but where the hell is mine? "A-hahaha ITS F#@%!^G GONE LOL! ;)" says Canvas to my angry fkng~ face. Now I re-submit the video on canvas from the recycle bin along with a screencap of 4 different files before it proving along with the exif/metadata that it was done way ahead of time.
For now on I'm submitting everything via the most annoyingly possible medium if you use canvas and it doesnt work, direct personal email. Because I'll be damned if I stay up all night on the weekend doing "homework-for-the-homework-for-the-canvas" all while risking losing points.
This is why I love COMM 3560 and 4330, because Blogger has yet to bang me up in some Cuban jail cell like Canvas does every day I use it.
